Don’t miss Stanton’s Picnic & Party in the Park on Sunday 7th May

THE STANTON FETE Committee are organising a Picnic and Party in the Park between 12 noon - 5pm featuring Live Music, Wood Fire pizza, Bouncy Castle, Doughnuts, plus a Variety of Stalls, Face Painting and lots more.

The QGJ committee are running a “Best Dressed House & Scarecrow Competition”, costing only £1 to enter. Judges will view Houses & Scarecrows after 2pm on the Saturday and the winners will be announced at The Park Party (money towards OAP Christmas party.) St Mary’s church will also be serving Teas, Coffees and Cake on the Sunday. It looks like being a great weekend!

Join us at Thornton Community Centre for a cuppa, cake, a warm and time to chat. Everyone is welcome, including well behaved dogs on leads. However, on 12th April, 3Ts will be at the café at Thornton Nurseries from 2 to 4pm. The Community Centre will be out of action for some very essential plumbing and drainage works. A huge thank you to the nursery. Drop in to 3Ts at any time, even if it’s only for a short while for a good chat, laughter and warmth. You will be very welcome.

Jigsaws, and board games, books, and the jigsaw ‘library’, and a small play area for young families will be available most Wednesdays.

If you would like to help with these Wednesdays, even for just the odd one, please do let me know.

Organised by the village for the villagers.

Look forward to seeing you!

I AM JUST WONDERING if you might be able to advertise an event I am organising for Rainbows Childrens Hospice at Woodhouse Community Hall, Forest Road, Woodhouse, on Friday May 19th at 7.30pm. It is an evening with Graham Short. Graham is someone you may have heard of who has an extraordinary skill. He is considered to be one of the most talented living micro-artists in the world. His unique, intricate work can be seen in what is believed to be the world’s tiniest nativity - carved on a speck of gold inside the eye of a needle and the words ’Nothing is Impossible’ engraved along the cutting edge of a traditional razor blade.

His latest project, valued at £250,000, is the Lord’s Prayer etched onto a speck of gold and inserted into the eye of a needle

Working twilight hours in between heartbeats and aided by Botox, Graham goes to extraordinary lengths to create his miniscule artworks. He even straps his arm to the table to stop if from moving !

He has appeared on numerous TV programmes and is a charismatic speaker. His highly amusing entertaining presentation is described as ‘more theatre than classroom’ and is littered with tales about the celebrities he has met and worked with, such as The Royal Family, Ronnie Barker, Neil Armstrong, Stephen Fry etc. He will be bringing samples of his work and there will be a Q&A session

Tickets are £7.50 and we are only selling them in advance. We will have a pay bar and raffle with all proceeds to Rainbows Childrens Hospice

For tickets or more information email info@aegf.co.uk or telephone 01530 224579.
